Why Acer Has Remained the No. 1 Laptop Brand in the Philippines for 20 Years

From classrooms and offices to gaming setups and creative workspaces, laptops have become essential tools for everyday life. Acer continues to strengthen its position in the Philippines with devices built for different lifestyles, needs, and budgets. This approach has kept the company at the top of the country's laptop market for two decades.

Acer celebrates 20 years as the No. 1 laptop brand in the Philippines.

According to Nielsen-GfK data for the first five months of 2026, Acer held a 37% share of the consumer laptop market and 34.5% of the gaming laptop segment in the Philippines. The company also maintained its position as the country's No. 1 laptop brand for 20 consecutive years, from 2006 to 2025, based on the IDC Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker (Q4 2025).

The latest figures also build on Acer's strong performance in 2025, when the company posted an all-time high 37.3% share of the consumer laptop market. The result reflects steady demand across both its consumer and gaming laptop portfolio as Acer marks its 50th anniversary as a technology company.

“These achievements are deeply meaningful to us as we celebrate Acer’s 50th anniversary,” said Sue Ong-Lim, Managing Director of Acer Philippines. “They reflect our strong commitment to our mission of breaking barriers between people and technology, one that has guided our innovations for five decades.”

More than a hardware provider

Acer’s market leadership is anchored in a holistic ecosystem that goes beyond hardware. By combining a vast retail footprint, an extensive service network, and strategic brand-building efforts, Acer has evolved into a lifestyle brand. The brand’s deep understanding of the Filipino youth’s needs and aspirations is evident in its flagship initiatives:

Acer Day: Now in its 10th year, this event continues to bridge the gap between technology and lifestyle through exclusive experiences and community-focused engagement.

Asia Pacific Predator League: Entering its 8th year, this premier esports tournament serves as a battleground for discovering esports talent from the region.

Acer marks its 50th anniversary while maintaining leadership in the Philippine laptop market.

Beyond Consumer and Gaming

Acer is also invested in the education sector through the Acer Edu Summit, a regional event hosted by the company that brings together policymakers, educators, and technology leaders to explore the future of education through artificial intelligence (AI) and human-centered innovation.

50 Years of Innovation

Acer's 50th anniversary marks five decades of innovation guided by its mission of breaking down barriers between people and technology. Beyond its laptop lineup, the company has built an ecosystem that combines technology with lifestyle, gaming, and education through initiatives such as Acer Day, Predator League, and the Acer Edu Summit.

Its two-decade leadership in the Philippine laptop market reflects that broader approach. By offering devices for students, professionals, creators, and gamers, Acer continues to address the diverse needs of Filipino consumers.
